Discussion of/and Topics related to the Republican Party (NOTE: ANY AND ALL LINKS POINTING TO FAR-RIGHT WEBSITES/CONTENT CREATORS IS BANNED AND CAN/WILL LEAD TO A BAN FROM THE COMMUNITY.).

RULES:

1: The Goldwater Rule due to the rise of Nutjob Incels in the GOP, any and all content that is glorifying any kind of White Supremacist along with spreading lies from these people leads to an automatic ban. The reason for it being called the Goldwater Rule is that he sort of caused this to happen.
2: The Fuentes Rule This is more or less a Rule 1.1, but also contains more specific information about far-right content here. First of all, if it is used for a quote then that is mostly okay unless there is Racism in the quote. But otherwise it is banned.
3: The Trump Rule You can not glorify Trump here. He was not the second coming of Christ.

More rules are Coming Soon (when needed)

Technological Determinism--the philosophy that the technological development of a society determines the most effective economic system to meet the needs of society. (lemmy.world)

It would argue that the technology of industrialization that brought Capitalism was not an accident. Capitalism was the natural outcome of the times. It would also argue that to try to force socialism onto the same society would be inefficient and essentially unnatural.

Technological deterministic thought sees technology as the driving force of social, economic, political, and even artistic change. In it's weak form, it is undeniably true--technology effects the form that society and economy take. In it's stronger form, it would claim that, barring enormous effort, Capitalism was the inevitable outcome of the technological development of the time.

It also explains why high automation and AI, that can do all or most of the work that humans do, will make Capitalism impossible.

Technology makes new jobs only until it also takes all those jobs. After that, wealth is no longer distributed through a Capitalist system and something else will emerge. Must emerge.
